This Tan Black and White Maori Korowai has a mix of tan and black feathers in the main body of the cloak, highlighted with bands of white and black feathers. The black feathers have a green tinge to them, making them look like tui feathers.
The Maori feather cloak is made by a lovely Maori lady of Ngati Porou descent. She was shown the method of making the korowai by a Northland kuia, and she blesses each korowai with a karakia.
Please note that the correct Maori name for it is kahu huruhuru, but most people, including Maori, still call it a korowai.
The top of this cloak is finished with a woven taniko tape. The taniko is coloured dark green, black and white.
The inside of the korowai is lined with black fabric.
The cloak is sewn on a sewing machine, making it affordable.

Wonderful to wear at a wedding, special function, 21st, graduation, or to present as a corporate gift, or to keep as a unique and beautiful piece of Maori art.

To maintain the mana of this beautiful piece of Maori art, please wear the korowai around the shoulders and not under the armpit.
SPECIAL NOTE RE SHIPPING : If you are having this shipped internationally, please select Economy Courier or Express Courier only. The item is too valuable to ship by Airmail, which does not carry sufficient insurance.
